Lady Banks Bookshelf for November

Posted By Nicki Leone, Wednesday, October 28, 2020

SIBA promotes six new books every month to readers, the customers of our member stores, in our Lady Banks Bookshelf promotion. These titles appear at the top of our weekly Lady Banks Commonplace Book newsletter, which has a circulation of over 60k. We also feature them above the fold on the homepage of Authors ‘Round the South and as the cover image of the ARTS facebook page, with buy links promoted to our 15,000 Facebook friends. Plus, we boost these titles on our Facebook page for thousands more views. A different member store is featured with the titles every week. We give SIBA member stores a heads up on each month’s featured titles, to encourage in-store and online displays.

For publishers looking to promote their new titles out to readers across the South, Lady Banks Bookshelf is our greatest value because of high visibility and engagement across multiple platforms. Contact us for more information or to get your titles on “The Shelf” in coming months.

Coming up in November:

  • Dear DeeDee by Kat Meads
  • Duck Duck Gator by Ken Wheaton 
  • Larvae of the Nearest Stars by Catherine W. Carter
  • A Palm Beach Scandal by Susannah Marren 
  • Trouble the Water by Rebecca Dwight Bruff
  • Stars of Wonder by Rebecca Dwight Bruff, Jill Dubin (illus.)

Lady Banks Gets a New Bookshelf

LADY BANKS GETS A NEW BOOKSHELF

SIBA's most popular consumer-targeted promotion gets an upgrade

Beginning in June, SIBA is updating one of its regular promotions to better benefit its member bookstores. "Lady Banks Bookshelf" is a collection of six books that are promoted for the month on Facebook and in the Lady Banks newsletter and AuthorsRoundtheSouth.com website. Publishers pay for placement, and books click through to a page on ARTS where they can purchase the book from a SIBA member store.

What is changing?

1)  A new store will be featured each week. Stores will be notified in advance when their week is scheduled.

3) Boosted promotions will now target audiences located geographically near the store.

4) Although the promoted books will still remain constant for an entire month, the promotion will refresh its look weekly, with new images, banners, tag lines, and social media posts.

5) Stores will be able to tag and share Lady Banks Bookshelf directly with their customers. Stores can also create Lady Banks Bookshelf pages on their own websites, making it easier for customers to view all the promoted books.
